Cornell researchers have devised a method for producing toroid-shaped particles through a process called vortex ring freezing. The particles are mass produceable through inexpensive electrospraying.
Research involving a new Cornell professor proposes that human behavior helps provide selective pressures that shape mobile gene pools, which are important for colonizing specific human populations.
Cash in your frequent flier miles and book a cruise to far-flung, exotic exoplanets. Cornell astronomers Lisa Kaltenegger and others offer two dozen perfectly placed exoplanets with potential for life.
Engineering professor Lynden Archer and graduate student Wajdi Al Sadat have devised an electrochemical cell that captures and converts carbon dioxide while generating electrical power.
A Cornell-led research team has proposed a way to measure the forces between the particles that surround defects in colloidal crystals, which could help predict the behavior of materials under stress.
Cornell biological engineers have deciphered the cellular strategy to make the biofuel ethanol, using an anaerobic microbe feeding on carbon monoxide – a common industrial waste gas.
A top engineer from the city of Los Angeles visited Cornell July 20-22 as researchers tested a new earthquake-resilient pipeline designed to better protect southern California's water utility.
Immobilizing negatively charged ions in the polymer-like separators of rechargeable lithium batteries is shown to result in stable electrodeposition, even at relatively high current densities.
The key to curing multiple sclerosis may well lie in the mysterious signaling of lipids, a major component of cells, says Cornell chemist Jeremy Baskin.
